DURANOL™ is a polycarbonatediol (PCD) developed by Asahi Kasei. The polyurethane using DURANOL™ has excellent durability, hydrolysis resistance and chemical resistance, and contributes to improved performance of polyurethane products. DURANOL™ offers a wide variety of applications such as paint, leather (synthetic leather, artificial leather, etc.), elastomer, and adhesive as a raw material of high-function polyurethane resins.

DURANOL™ G4672 is a polycarbonatediol (PCD). It is amorphous and possesses stress at a low strain is smaller than that of solid type PCD. Exhibits excellent durability and good hydrolysis resistance. Shows good compatibility with polyester polyols. Provides excellent scratch-, abrasion- and weather resistance in high function polyurethane. Offers softer feeling as a binder of a soft feel paint, excellent handling property and solvent solubility. DURANOL™ G4672 is recommended for paints applications.

DURANOL™ G3450J is a polyalkylene carbonate diol. It is liquid at room temperature, and imparts good abrasion resistance, lower crystallinity, and lower viscosity. This product is recommended for UV-cure coatings and adhesive applications.

DURANOL™ T4671 is a polyalkylene carbonate diol. It offers a good balance of softness and chemical resistance. This product is recommended for polyurethane resins for artificial leather, polyurethane dispersions, and polyurethane elastomers.
